Default RE: Best Firewall Sealer

OK, I'll fess-up......I use thinned epoxy for my firewalls for glow and gas and have never had a failure ~ been flying since about '88.

My real reason for asking the question is for a repair job that I'm doing to my SeaDoo. It's fuel guage has failed. The float inside the sending unit that resides within the gas tank has a leak. What I'm going to do is drill a small hole in it and drain it. Then, I plan to plug the hole with JBWeld. Next, I want to coat the whole thing with a thin layer of ????something????. I haven't decided what. All it needs to do is plug the microscopic hole(s) that have developed over the last 10 years or so.

The float is in gas all the time.

So guys, what sealant do you recommend? All suggestions.....(realistic) creativity welcomed!

Thanks!
Doug
